How times change!
I watch the local noon news,everyday,to get the local weather.
Today,on the news,they were commenting on the great influx of
people trying to join at the recruiters.I graduated at 17 in 1961.I
enlisted in Aug. of the same year.I was Honerably Discharged in
Aug of 1965!I was 21,and already had 4yrs in.I started at Sikorsky Aircraft,the next day,as an aircraft mechanic.My friends,
GF(now wife)worked in the recruitment center.At that time,homo-
sexuality,was grounds for inadmitance.I was married.They both
would be at our apartment at night.She would,jokingly,tell us all
of the things,that people would do to keep from getting inducted!
VN was going strong then and they would do anything to keep out!They would pretend homosexuality,use sleep deprivation,etc.
I couldn't help but think,How times have changed!I have noticed
many things.Name some of the things that you have noticed.I
realise that most of the members are younger,so they wouldn't
notice much! Irish
